Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, sir, good a Russ, how your mate? Great
to see.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's fantastic. What a weekend, What a weekend of footy? Yeah,
it was just amazing. I mean the waffle was pretty
good too, but the AFL unbelievable. Obviously Porte upsetting the Hawks.
Everyone seemed to tip the Hawks, but I actually thought
that the port they would.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Have come roaring back.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Well.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
I mean it was a home game for them, but
they've been a bit wobbly, hadn't they. Whereas the Hawks
were on a real role.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
They were going very well.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
In fact, I noticed today that Carolyn Wilson, one of
the most respected commentators in football, she's almost blamed Jack
Ginovan for costing the Hawks our premiership.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
It's a lot of pressure to put on a poor
little twenty one year old blog. He's a bit of
a fruit loot.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
She's basically said, if you hadn't a posted that, you know,
that's message to his mate Brody Grundy at Sydney saying
I see in two weeks and then obviously port made
a big deal about it. It was in their locker
and on their whiteboards, and then he saw after the
game what happened as well, in fact that Ken Hinckley
couldn't help himself coach.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Of Port twenty thousand dollars five.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Saying you're not flying anywhere now, Jenny, and even did
the arms out?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Yeah did the aeroplane.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Twenty? Come on, that's crazy. The sledge is dead.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I'm a bit I'm a bit torn about it. I mean,
I think the coach probably it's unnecessary and maybe could
kept it for the press conference afterwards.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
But from a press conference, come.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Fine, there come Jenny, how are you mate? I'd love
to see that. That would be good.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
It would have been more composed, I suppose you'd say.
But but the Hawks they dish it out, so they
have to take it a little bit. And it sport
looked Luke Brewce three hundred so sisly fair enough. And
I've been a captain. I he was a captain of
my footy team. And you would go back at a bloke,
a coach who was having a crack at your young
teammate twenty one year old, not that and go to
war when you're eighteen, but he's twenty one. I did
(02:04):
see someone say actually that young people there there, what
is it? Their prefrontal cortex hasn't developed completely, so he's
they were using that excuse. I'm saying that they're saying,
hang on, he's not quite Yeah. But the thing I
loved the best about it and we'll pay sam Mitchell
grab in a moment. The bit I lived loved was
(02:26):
the Hawthorne mafia coming out to support, to support and
have a crack at ken Hinckley and support Jennevan and
Hawthorne and even Malta saying you know, when you win,
you just got to say nothing. And I'm thinking these
guys have got short memories. I mean, I remember Mick
having a crack at Stephen Milne. I don't know if
you remember that, and that was he had to apologize
for that. That was a quarter time and Lee Matthews
(02:49):
came out and he must have forgotten, and he broke
some bloke's jaw behind the plane.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
It's funny.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I always remember malt House Matthew's quiet, very reserved, level headed.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Shediest to wind up every time they played Jordan Lewis.
I just remember Patrick Cripps with this ractured jaw and
Hodgy ran some bloke into a point post. I don't
know if you remember that. So these guys have got history,
they've got form, and they're having a crack and then
Sam Mitchell, this is him after the game.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I mean, I can only speak on my club's behalf.
And if I think about how my club, the Hawthorne
Football Club, dealt with the post game, we had a
very young player who was having had some very aggressive
words said to him by a much older man who's
been in the game for a long time, and the
(03:37):
captain of my club stood up for him. And so
I think in it really like it's really tough to
sit here right now getting rushed by the AFL. Make
sure you're at your press conference on time. And so
I understand the emotions of this time of year are
really really difficult, and I'm really proud of our captain,
(03:57):
who would have been just as emotional. He was able
to stand up and lead in a way that he
could be proud of.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
We you seek to speak to can after absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
How frustrated are you to see that have that relayed
to you from a roleer coach?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
That the third question? That's enough.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
He seemed happy to cut him off.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
But Mitch, you will not ask three questions.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Actually, you're good to judge you're good to judge on this.
Nothing not to do with age or anything. But is
that an age's comment where he says a much older man,
he's like he's sixty.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Oh like, can you can you point a finger at
think an old man? I think the whole thing's just
been blown away. You are starring the pipe. But that's
your job, mate.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, but let me just say with sam Mitchell, I
still recall some of the pain he put in that
five through. I think he might have almost well I
won't say what it was, but he definitely needed that
five and said that it was his running style. And
then he taunted Essen to remember pretending to do the
injection the injection sign. Hey boys, hey, take a few
more of that.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Stuff used to go on so often once, and now
all of a sudden everybody's just become.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
You can't take the high moral ground when you've been
doing that yourself. The other game was, of course, a
massive one, a stunning comeback.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
What happened there? Forty four? Just want good at this?
Are they forty four points behind? They were? Did gws choke?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Actually let's just hear from there, well, I would think, so, yeah,
can you give us their coach, because this is what
he had to say.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
I think this is incredibly disappointed.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
You know, we we put ourselves into what we thought
was a winning position, forty four points up, and we
weren't able to hang on or capitalize. Or we we
thought we'd learned our lessons from last week against the
Swan's twenty eight points up against them and you know,
six goals to two in the last quarter. Well tonight
it was the same story, unfortunately, So it would appear
(05:50):
we haven't yet learned.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
That lesson Brisbon there on a bit of a roll.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah, what does that mean for the Giants?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Adam Kingsey their coach there, it means they probably haven't
meant sure.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I don't know. It's just it was weird. Nearly are
getting injured probably didn't help.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
How open is their windows still?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Do you think?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
You know how they say mid at twelve o'clock is
when you're in the premiership window.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
I reckon they're at eleven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So it's still got yeah, still building, So I'll let
them off the hook there. But geez, that was one
of the great comebacks of all time. That two of
the games were spectacular, So either team the power of
the lines. Were they a realistic chance of getting to
the Grand Final? Probably not anyway, But so we're heading.
We're sort of heading for Sydney to long decider in
(06:33):
some ways, aren't we.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Well, they're pretty strong Sydney. Sydney got the wobbles at
the right time, didn't they, because now they're.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Back oncoming, good on track. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
The other big news today was Bruce mcavany is back.
So the biggest inclusion in the final series, it's going
to be Bruce mcavanny. He's commentating, is he match fitth
he's doing Channel finals. That'd be great to see the
great Man back. And imagine if we brought back Dennis
as well, that would be good. That's what I'd be doing.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I'll be getting hold of the great Man. What a
team they were and w AFL Yeah, just quickly. Well
done to of course Puel Thunder getting through to the
Grand Fire. If you picked the Swan, yeah, well you
know Cleary Cleary was strong on it. Their three best
players were the Dockers guys Erasmus, Reedi and Driscoll and
(07:22):
Tabernat probably he kicked five gold so four Dockers probably
underestimated part of me. Sorry, I probably underestimated just how
good those guys are going to be in finals, and
they lifted and in the end they won by forty
seven points.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Did yeah, And they were down by quite a bit too,
because Swan's got a good lead.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Early on you kicked five goals straight and thought Clzy
I was about to text you and Itjan.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Where is Azbaijan.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
It's in the what would you call it? Sort of
Western Asia?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah, You're like Turkmanistan and all those places, Kazakhstan.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
So people, so people, people, they don't know it is
a country. And they have a Grand Prix, which is extraordinary.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I think they have a lot of oil, I think
I think that's why they're able to afford.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
And guess what, Australians loved the place. Now because Oscar
Piastre has won the Azerbaijan GP. He's arrived. As Mark
Webbers just said, he has arrived. Oscar ved he's here,
He's not just coming. He got past charl Leclaire. It
was a brilliant move when the DRS kicks in and
he just went flinging past him. It was unbelievable. And
(08:30):
then he just held him off for the rest of
the race. Made he's a champion. It was a Ricardo
style move. Fantastic move. Lando Norris, his teammate, finished fourth.
So in the Constructs Constructors Championship McLaren has gone past her.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
That's unbelievable. They were in the wilderness for years.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Normally orange things don't do that well. Bloody fantastic. So anyway,
then there was a bit of audio. Lando Norris is
obviously the number one driver, so the engineer Will Joseph
got on the radio and asked him, asked him for
something special, and this is what he said, Do.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
You mind if I dedicate this to someone?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Go Andrew?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Of course she goes.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
My dad passed away ten years to go today as
I was on the way to Singapore or just about
to leave to Singapore. So this is to him, who would.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Be very proud of us.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
All absolutely good?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Is that downated.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
He dedicated the win and the championship taking number one
spot to the passing of his dad. This. Will Joseph's
famous engineer for McLaren and Landa handled it very nicely.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
And that had a lot of people teering up. Yeah, apparently,
so McLaren are definitely back. Well done to Lander, Well
done to Oscar. Good to see an Aussie up on
the podium. And Daniel finished the race much I mean,
let's nothing much flower cart Oh no, he can be
men as fast as the car will let you.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
West Australia is doing well everywhere.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
WA's Madison d Rosario de Rizari backed up the Paralympic
sweare and talking about losing your dad. She lost her
dad when she was basically walking sorry, when she was
basically coming out for the opening ceremony with the flag
in her wheelchair. Wow, and she found out had just
(10:17):
found out that her dad had passed away. She competed,
won a silver medal in the marathon, and now she's
won the Sydney Marathon wheelchair race second year, running fifteen
minutes clear of number two Christi Dawes, another Ossie Paralympian.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Would have had enough time to shower and change fifteen minutes. Wow, amazing, amazing.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
And then Nina Kennedy, now the West Australian, finished off
her an amazing season, her eighth successive competition that she's
won the Diamond League in Brussels.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
So how's Nina, She's come back?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
She goes out with the captain of the Clermont footay
club and so she went down to his farm for
a while, then back to Europe to compete again. Couldn't
celebrate a gold medal from the Olympic Games too long,
had to get back into it. And now now she'll
come back to Perth and really I want on, I reckon.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
And we thought we'd finished with football, but not quite.
The AFL w.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yep Eagle's amazing their best ever start to a season.
If they're playing tomorrow night, can you believe?
Speaker 1 (11:12):

So Tuesday night in Melbourne and if they beat Collingwood
it'll be their best ever season full stop love had
three wins in just four games in three weeks.
Speaker 1 (11:24):

Speaker 5 (11:24):

All it gets fifth into two months.
Speaker 1 (11:30):

Speaker 3 (11:30):
It's jammed in idea and.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
The Dockers redeem themselves at a great win. They beat
Port Adelaide in Adelaide.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Now they play Melbourne on Saturday afternoon at Freemantle Oval
and they are flying, so I think they. I mean,
Daisy Pierce has been a revelation and Freemanner looked like
they could challenge for the flag. So we're going well.
And of course Sunday the Waffle Grand finales.
